A keen eyed observer noticed that the Amazon UK, Amazon France, and Amazon Spain stores all have the game listed at the price of a full retail release. We've known for quite a while that the title would be opting for a free-to-play model, so this does seem a little odd. What's even more bizarre, though, is that the online retailer has already taken pre-orders for this purportedly physical version.

Perhaps Capcom has finally listened to our passionate pleas and ditched the contentious model. But before you go out and spend all of those small coins that you've been saving up to pay for microtransactions, it must be noted that the Amazon US store lists the title's price as "currently unavailable". In other words, this could just be a case of the European sites not updating their prices.

Regardless of whether this turns out to be true, it's still interesting to speculate about how a physical release of the title would actually work. We propose that plonking down the cash up front should entitle you to a totally microtransaction free experience, but Capcom might have something completely different in mind.
